Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Where’s all the tankies that post “Genocide Joe” comments? Voting for Joe makes you complicit?

They always leave out trump policy. Avoiding voting for Biden or choosing to vote for trump does far worse.

Edit: found ‘em! Still trying to get people to not vote.

What is your definition of tankie?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Probably you, encouraging third party votes refusing to acknowledge it's essentially a throwaway in a presidential election, or your commentary in this thread.

However, the ones like this that just come out and repeat, ad-nauseam, the don't vote for Genocide Joe because you're complicit in Israel's Genocide or something.

First two pages of a search for "Genocide Joe", I skipped the hexbear ones because they're a caricature of themselves and they can't help it, I also skipped the verbose ones because TL;DR, nobody wants to read it.

You guys really like to use the word "tankie", but you have no idea what it means do you?
